Gosh, they are using the old Venitian chant method. Really lovely. Thanks

[Patavinity]

This is exquisite; so unlike anything of the period

Check you music history. Josquin Des Pres lived from 1450 to 1521 AD. Gregorian chant had been out of vogue for 300 years! He often used Gregorian chant, but in an entirely different way. Compare this with Hildegard von Bingen. You will hear clearly established rhythm, made possible by the new precise rhythm notation system by which each note gets an individual value. Even isorhythms had been abandoned by then. That is why it sounds so modern!

I wonder on what basis they interpreted the Gregorian chant in this way? Interestingly, it makes it sound closer to modern Byzantine chant, and both chants were supposedly from a common source

That's so wonderful! Thank you!

What an interesting comment by 'The30yearOldVirgin', you made me laugh. It seems you are a python fan. I love Gregorian especially when they sing to the rooftops, almost blowing those rooftops off and it travelling and wafting higher than clouds above. With a bit of mist above there too for cosiness.

Thank you for this comment.

About The30yearOldVirgin, I don't think he's a fan. He often listen to my videos and sometimes he likes them. That's all.

Thanks again for commenting my videos... and sorry for my terrible english.

I think sparebone means a Monty Python fan.

[The30YearOldVirgin]

Wow... "and now for something completely different! :)
